Meet my ex

I've seen my ex twice in the last two years since we broke up 8 years ago. Both times I don't think he saw me which is fine with me. I wished I never laid eyes on this person I really regret ever going out with him. If he did see me I would not have spoken to him. The crazy thing is that I sometimes dream about him and I hate it. I'd rather forget I ever knew him so I don't know why the heck I dream about him.

i do understand... hehe awkward, weird, awkward, weird... it was like an unwanted spasm waiting to happen... or something bursting and you don't know where or what kind of emotions are involved. yes, mixed feelings. i know. years ago, i saw my ex walking from the opposite side of the bridge. i think i saw him first and i wanted to bail out and turn around and... (i don't know) i just want to avoid him. it was a shock to see him a year and a half after we broke up. i just continued walking and pretended that i didn't see him. but he did see me unfortunately and he called my name. he asked about me. and even tried to walk with me until the bus station. he asked to meet the next day. of course i refused. fortunately my bus arrived and i have reason to leave him and say goodbye. but my relief was shortlived because he followed me inside the bus and stood in front of my seat. and he wouldn't move a muscle until i agreed to meet him the next day. it was embarassing (to say the least). lol because people were looking. i felt like hyperventilating when he got off the bus after i agreed. and that night, everything rushed back, all the memories and emotions. whew! the next day, i debated whether to see him or not but since i gave my word i had to keep it. he proposed. i turned him down. i should not have been affected anymore. but i was. because he was a year and a half too late. now the idea of meeting any of my exes... i don't wanna think about it. lol i hope i don't meet any... anymore.

I think I am going through something similar. But I am on the other side of the equation. I recently met an ex. Although we act as if everything is fine, I could sense in her the same emotions that your are feeling. She tries to act cool, and friendly, but her actions speak differently. Maybe it's just my imagination, but maybe it's really like these between exes.

Hi eLsMarie, What you posted I guess is just normal. I mean I really don't know what's going on with you girls when you meet your ex, but you sounded just describing me. LOL. Well, I recently had a post about my ex, and how it "bothered" me to see her on facebook, and well, I sorta add her up, and she accepted my friend request, and I was ruined. LOL. Well, just like you, I thought I was totally fine for the longest time, then just disturbed again, because I saw her on facebook. I don't know. Maybe I should shut up too. LOL.

hi, yes once but that was last three years ago,and that situation was really hard journey for me during that time because i dont know what to do or what should i do when they meet each other.but the things that i really felt that time was unforgettable.

Taking your first line..it is not awkward, it is frustrating! When you tried your damnest best only to be proven wrong when it comes to your feelings with your ex..it just plain disappointing. But anyway, we all have to go pass the point because it is the only way to move on with our lives. Oh well..

At least you still are yourself that time. Me, I felt stupid the last time I saw him. I promised to act cool, and pretend that I am better without him. But when he asked if he can have one hug before he'll go meet his current GF, I just gave in. In fact, I hugged him really tight, cried... and watch him leave again. Hate myself! Argh!

I know how you feel somehow. Oh well, if I were you, I might feel the same, since we broke up, and maybe there is not much for us to talk about. I would still want us to be friends too, but it is hard to find a topic again, and we can talk about it or laugh about it. I hope that me and my ex and improve such condition in the future.

Yeah, crazy, illogical, and frustrating. Whenever this happens, I curse myself. But remembering the reasons for the breakup usually gets me thinking straight again. I guess we have these kind of reactions whenever we see or meet our ex because we remember the good times we shared with that person. At least, you know you're not bitter!

It's such an adrenaline to meet the exes! All the time, there's all this game going on, it's really a hush indeed, or this butterflies you talked about :D

gosh. meeting the ex is really awkward. its really hard to act fine if you meet them again. specially if the breakup is really terrible. maybe you are not yet moved on totally. when i met my ex, i met her 3 years after the break up and at that time, it was really fine with me. but i think its not fine with her. cause when she saw me, she's knda jumpy. hahaha!

That means that the memories you had are still fresh and not being forgotten. My ex and I broke 2 months ago (in a nice way though) and were still seeing each other every Sunday because were churchmates. For me, I don't want to end our relationship. She said that she must do it and yeah she broke with me. Now, everytime I see her, my hearts says 'I miss you beb'. All I can do now is to wait for the right time to come if she will be back for good, for the continuation of our relationship. I miss her so much and I want to give her a hug. ='(

It's really happened. There are times that two ex partner will be united once again the chances of their were really destined together, IF BOTH OF YOU IS CURRENTLY SINGLE. Why? because maybe the reason why your boyfriend/girlfriend before became your ex is sometimes there are things in life to both of you should change or fix first before you will love together again that both of you should realized and learned for something to make your realationship better than before.

everybody has to carry on at some part of life if things are not working out. for example if u dint have to see her u wouldnt have even thought of her plus if u see something had to have been wrong that u broke up common man wake up and face the music things do happens but for the best plus even if u met her i know u might be gettn ur emotions back but the fact is the same thig is gonna happen again .

Well that is indeed awkward. I don't think I could ever be friends with my ex. So if I meet him, I'd probably hide, rather than go gaga. I don't do well in awkward situation. I might look like a fool. lol.
